I'm friendly, affectionate, educated, intelligent, congenial, sometimes witty, and sensual. I'd like to find someone near my own age who is interested in a lasting relationship. I have enjoyed my independence since my divorce but am ready to share my life again.

I'm an English teacher, retired from the public schools and now teaching at a tech school. I also write and have one published novel so far. I keep busy with my teaching and writing, and I also have a home-based business that I enjoy.

What am I looking for? Wellllll.....I want someone who wants to be loved and respected and will return it. I'm not your perfect woman, but I don't expect perfection in the man I meet, either. Hey....it takes time and patience to build a good relationship, so if you have the time and patience, let's get to know one another.
